Dave Roberts also blows. Literally the only way you can let the Sox back into the game is to bring in a LHP and he does it.

I knew LaRussa was going to be a horrendous hire but the extent of how much he sucks is astonishing even to me

It’s insane. The Sox are hideously bad against RHP. You are doing them such a favor when you bring a LHP into the game.

Why go away from the fastball? Bichette wasn’t even close to the last 3 pitches.

Also Matheny is just a hilariously bad manager. Pinch hitting with Carlos Santana who had zero hits against Kelly, has been one of the worst hitters in baseball this year and has been worthless in general since 2019 plus a guy who strikes out constantly and hitting O’Hearn 4th? You have an unbelievably shitty roster but dear god these guys are morons.

This Royals team is amazingly fucking awful.

This team is brutal defensively. Very generous base hit for Trout there.

I’m shocked that our Sheets/Vaughn corner outfield duo directly led to a hit and at least 1 run. Shocked

He’d probably make more money at Illinois next year then playing pro though. Belo was terrible but he played limited minutes in a lot of games and the offense still wasn’t good a lot of the time. Teams figured out that you just can’t leave Plummer ever and Frazier had his typical inconsistent play since he’s a really mediocre shooter. Just a really limited group of players outside of Kofi.

Agree on the goaltending, the one they called on Kofi wasn’t and the one they didn’t was clearly goaltending. They actually get good shots the vast majority of the time despite having some really limited players in the starting lineup. Kofi missed a bunch of shots he usually makes and Frazier and Plummer missed a lot of good looks. The real issue is Frazier is going through one of his stretches right now where he’s just completely worthless on offense. He’s had a lot of those during his career and this one is again at a really bad time. With Grandison clearly not healthy they can’t afford to have Frazier be a 0 on offense.

Well Illinois gifted Indiana their guaranteed tourney bid by missing roughly 15 layups, 2 dunks and tons of free throws today.

Best and final is almost never actually best and final. I laugh at people in my field when they use that terminology.

Hopefully someone sane puts a bullet in his brain and ends this if nukes are ever on the table.

FIFA cowardly is not banning Russia from competing in World Cup qualifiers so far.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport is a fucking joke or an organization so little surprise there. Same organization that walked back some of the sanctions against Russian athletes despite a world of evidence of systemic doping in 2014 (and thereafter).

Just such a garbage country. Literally nothing good comes out of Russia.

Lol. If she tested positive for a banned substance they should lose the medal. Just like the USA didn’t let Richardson compete in the summer games when she tested positive for weed (which is clearly not performance enhancing). Only a piece of shit like Putin could make it political.

Yes it would.

Yep, FIFA may somehow be even worse. Just totally garbage organizations.

It’s a pretty safe assumption that every Russian athlete is doping (either knowingly or unknowingly).

I believe his post is what you would call sarcasm. But yes, not flat out banning any and all Russians from competition for a number of years was clearly the proper response and the fact it didn’t happen is a joke because I’m positive Russia learned there is no consequences to state sponsored doping and is still doing it. I’d bet heavily China does it as well and is just better at hiding their tracks.

Yep, the IOC's corruption knows no bounds but just asinine to have the Olympics somewhere that doesn't have snow that also has the human rights issues that China has. Politics should not make its way into the sports themselves but it absolutely should matter as to where the Olympics are held. But at least Eileen Gu could be like all the American corporations that sell their soul to China for money so she can be used for propaganda there. Also still utterly ridiculous that the IOC is so corrupt and cowardly that Russia never received a real penalty for mass doping in 2014. I was glad to see Lindsey Jacobellis finally get redemption for her showboating mistake in 2006 and get her Olympic gold.

No he didn’t. His recruiting was horrible other than his 2017 class.

That’s different than being surpassed though and I think the US federation hiring a shitty manager based solely on nepotism is contributing to the mediocre results despite there being the most talent the US has ever had.

Eh, the USA has way more talent than Canada and is producing a ton of guys getting signed by teams in Europe’s top leagues right now.
